Earlier this month Prachy (Toronto LG) was over in London for work, so together with Ben (London LG) and I (Manchester LG), we had a small little catch up! We had met each other at the totally awesome LG Summit 2016 and with many other attendees from that summit, we had all kept in touch via the magic of Hangouts. So whilst we were out exploring London together with Ben naturally assuming the role of the tour guide (and slave driver making us walk almost everywhere and up stairs!!), we took some fun shots and had a bit of a giggle.. well a lot actually!
At the same time, over on the other side of the world in Singapore, Kim (San Jose LG) was visiting Shirni and Marcus (Malaysia/Singapore LG). Kim and Shirni were also fellow LG Summit 16 attendees. Kim, Shirni and Marcus had shared a group photo of themselves with the famous Merlion, a popular tourist spot.. and Ben hatched a plot to outdo their group shot! Thus, a photo battle was born where we would each try and recreate the shot taken by the other group!
Folks, I present to you our hilarious efforts!
It was such a riot doing the photos, chatting to each other over Hangouts and exploring both London and Singapore. And this isn't the first time that attendees have met up with each other in different locales across the globe!
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with all of you. For those who are attending the Summit this year, you can look forward to an awesome time and, most amazingly, have a wonderful opportunity to meet other Local Guides who are crazy passionate about exploring the world and sharing whatever knowledge we have with the world!
And you know what?! You don’t need a summit to meet and make wonderful new friends! Go out.. Explore your part of the world.. Speak to the people around! You never know, you might have a ton of laughs!
